Description

It is suggested that current requirements for high-gain inertial confinement fusion targets can be significantly reduced by using a properly shaped energetic ion beam. A criterion for programming is suggested and calculated numerically. Shaping reduces current requirements by a factor of 6 as compared with a constant pulse of the same maximal power. (author)
